Verse from Deuteronomy

“摩西就在那一天写下了这首诗歌，教导以色列人。”

‭‭申命记‬ ‭31:22‬ ‭

“So Moses wrote down this song that day and taught it to the Israelites.”

‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭31:22‬ ‭

God knew that long after Moses was gone, when He had brought Israel into the Promised Land, they would rebel and worship other gods. So He told Moses, “This song will testify against them, because it will not be forgotten by their descendants” (v. 21).

Songs are nearly impossible to forget, so it’s wise to be selective about what we sing. Some songs are just for fun, and that’s fine, but we benefit from songs that boast in Jesus and encourage our faith. 

One of the ways we “[make] the most of every opportunity” is when we speak “to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit.” So “sing and make music from your heart to the Lord” (see Ephesians 5:15–19).
